The subthread was about people not having a single family physician. And private equity consolidating physician practices is a very well documented contributor to that. Bungled cases can have all sorts of causes, and I never said private equity was the cause of all of them.
I never said private equity was the cost of any bungled cases despite the fact that they surely are.
What I said you can blame private equity on is this
> A few generation ago you had family doctors who knew pretty much everything about you from your birth to their retirement (or death even). Even I had that as a kid, and I'm not 40 yet.
But to be fair. It's not just PE, it's consolidation in general, which can be lead by large non-profit hospital groups as well.
